"We would just shut down the network," the CIO said.


"When would the finance and human resources teams be notified and brought in?" the CFO asked. "I need to ensure we have enough cash on hand to sustain operations and payroll before the network goes down.โ€


Silence.


This was a multi-billion-dollar enterprise, and no one had considered how a network shutdown would affect financial operations. Their incident response planning had taken place at a technical level and failed to account for the business as a whole, including finance, human resources, and operations. Unfortunately, many organizations do not discover these gaps in planning until they are attacked.ย 


Cyber incidents are not just technical problemsโ€”they are business problems. Executive tabletop exercises bring together key leaders from across the business โ€” including the CEO, CFO, CIO, CTO, CISO, GC, CHRO, and others โ€” to stress-test response plans, uncover blind spots, and ensure alignment before a real crisis occurs.ย 


When the pressure is on, having a plan everyone has practiced matters.
